South Carolina's physician-led online weight loss practice.
*Prescriptions are made only after medical evaluation and only if indicated. Full details.
Not a med spa. Not a supplement program. Not another giant weight-loss app. Simply Metabolic is a medical practice dedicated to helping South Carolina adults lose weight and keep it off. No compounded weight-loss medications, ever. When medication is part of your plan, it is a real prescription filled at a licensed retail pharmacy you select.
Simply Metabolic is built for people who want careful evaluation, structured follow-up, and a more personal online care model, not a one-time prescription visit.
I kept seeing the same problem. Weight loss was almost never the main focus. It was one more thing to fit into a short visit, or an add-on at a clinic that mostly does something else, or an app where you never see the same person twice.
I thought there should be a medical practice that simply specialized in weight loss. So I built one.
Our goal is simple: help you lose weight and keep it off, with a plan that is safe, sustainable, and built around you.
This practice works best for people who want a structured plan and regular follow-up with the same physician.
There are several ways to seek weight management care. This shows what kind of practice Simply Metabolic is.
Other practices and platforms differ, and many are run well. This describes Simply Metabolic and is not a judgment about any particular clinician or program. Simply Metabolic supports weight and metabolic health care. It does not replace primary care, emergency care, or care for unrelated medical conditions.
This is a dedicated weight loss practice, not a service added on to something else. One physician is responsible for your care from the first evaluation onward.
Obesity medicine is its own specialty. Your plan reflects that training rather than a general approach to dieting.
You work directly with the same physician throughout your care, instead of repeatedly explaining your history to different providers.
Insurance navigation, labs when indicated, nutrition, activity, and ongoing adjustment are part of the same care.
A full video visit with Dr. Robak, time for your questions, and 14 days of messaging afterward. Bring your recent lab results if you have them, and he will review them with you during your visit.
Your plan is yours whether or not you continue. Medication and lab costs are separate.
Answer a few questions about you and your health. We currently care for adults 18 and older in South Carolina.
If you qualify, go straight to booking. Pick a time and pay for your $299 first visit.
Meet Dr. Robak by video, discuss your options, and build your plan together. Decide about ongoing care afterward.
Ongoing care means the same physician, follow-up visits, dose adjustments, and messaging. There is no membership decision to make today. If you continue weight-loss medication care with us, a membership is required.
Your $299 first visit is credited toward the $894, so you pay the remaining $595 to start.
Your $299 first visit counts as month one. Then $199 per month if you continue.
Membership fees pay for physician services and are separate from medication, pharmacy, and laboratory costs. See what medication costs.
The guarantee covers the value of the visit itself, not any particular treatment or outcome.
“If you complete your initial visit and don’t feel you got real value from it, tell me. I’ll schedule one additional visit at no charge to make it right. If you’re still not satisfied after that, I’ll refund your $299 in full.”
Dr. Theodore “TJ” Robak, MD
Medication is separate from your visit. It is paid to the licensed retail pharmacy you select, never to us, and is never included in visit or membership fees.
*Pricing current as of September 4, 2026. Your cost depends on the medication, the dose, and your coverage.
Theodore “TJ” Robak, MD is board-certified in obesity medicine and founded Simply Metabolic as a practice devoted entirely to weight loss for South Carolina adults. You are evaluated, treated, and followed up by the same physician throughout your care.
Straight answers about medication, eligibility, and what this practice does and does not provide.
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Dr. Robak reviews your history and safety during your visit and determines whether medication is right for you. If appropriate, it is sent that day to the licensed retail pharmacy you choose.
No. The $299 includes your physician visit, written plan, and 14 days of messaging. Medication is paid separately to your pharmacy. Read about medication costs.
Visit and membership fees are paid directly to the practice and are not billed to insurance. Medication may be covered: when a prescription is appropriate, we pursue coverage and prior authorization where applicable, and manufacturer self-pay programs where it is not.
No membership is required for your first visit. You leave with your written plan whether or not you continue. Weight-loss medication requires ongoing care, which in our practice requires a membership to deliver the best standard of care to you. The monthly plan can be cancelled anytime.
No. Simply Metabolic does not use compounded weight-loss medications. When medication is prescribed, it is dispensed through a licensed retail pharmacy selected by the patient. Simply Metabolic does not sell or supply medication.
Adults 18 and older who live in South Carolina. Visits are by video. The initial questions help determine whether you qualify to book; treatment decisions happen with the physician during your visit.
